The ontology has been translated to RDF already [1]. It would be
trivial to either translate the RDF to Topic Maps or to use the
scrapers to generate topic maps.

But why should somebody do it? Topic Maps has no market share and it's
therefor irrelevant in the semantic web and LOD.

For a website I use mainly RDFa and added some support for schema.org
but I am not adopting it eagerly.

We have already good tools: RDF and SPARQL. :)
